je_re_my_0 Posted January 6, 2008 CID Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi Testmy Forumees (Have no idea whether that's a word or not, but today it is!). I'm having a problem reaching my advertised 1472 (Kbits/Sec) Downstream/ 256 (Kbits/Sec) Upstream Rate. I am using Bellsouth DSL Ultra Version 03.08.02 I am running Windows XP Home I have tried TCP Optimize (Didn't notice any drastic change or any change at all for that matter). I also tried Cable Nut .. I noticed SOME change but not much. I think it may be the settings I choose. I took the Tweakability Test and here's what I got 1. Your Tweakable SettingsReceive Window (RWIN): 512000 Window Scaling: 3 Path MTU Discovery: ON RFC1323 Window Scaling: ON RFC1323 Time Stamping: OFF Selective Acks: ON MSS requested: 1444 TTL: (less any hops behind firewall) 67 TTL remaining: 53 TOS flags: none set 2. Test DownloadActual data bytes sent: 1031221 Actual data packets: 716 Max packet sent (MTU): 1484 Max packet recd (MTU): 1492 Retransmitted packets: 5 sacks you sent: 59 pushed data pkts: 32 data transmit time: 6.561 secs our max idletime: 503.1 ms transfer rate: 141802 bytes/sec transfer rate: 1134 kbits/sec transfer efficiency: 99% 3. ICMP (ping) check Minimum ping: 39.82 ms Maximum ping: 44.69 ms Ping stability: 43.09 42.45 39.82 40.42 44.69 40.20 40.69 41.26 42.39 42.09 4. Notes and Recommendations Change MTU to 1500 (FAQ #652, #695) Choose RWIN between 14440 and 37544 (FAQ #586) download/use DRTCP .. (FAQ #578) Read the tweak FAQ Observations: Good data stream (no/few rexmits) Observations: Looking good <br> Could someone tell me what I need to do to achieve the optimal speed that I am promised by Bellsouth?

coknuck Posted January 7, 2008 CID Share Posted January 7, 2008 je_re_my_0, I was looking at your speed test and there all most all the same. I see you have Bellsouth. You have DSL and your speed depends on how far you are from the CO. If you factor in 10% overhead you are just about on the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
